CW for the link: death by vehicular violence

It was a bloody memorial day weekend in Cincinnati.

Even though the answer society needs to arrive at is banning cars, that reality seems so far away.

How realistic is it that we can start by banning these gigatrucks and SUVs from city streets where they simply don’t belong?

    You can ban new sales to non-businesses and that will make a huge difference.

    I think it should still be legal to rent trucks, but individuals shouldn’t be able to buy them (unless it’s for a business).

      People will just start a shell business just to put the truck under.

        I think that’s acceptable. It would basically be a huge tax on owning a truck. The result would still be a ~90% reduction of trucks on the road.

          Nah, depending on the country, having a corporation own a vehicle as opposed to a natural person can be very beneficial from a tax POV.
